Pinterest, my savior. The brainrot for The Archive Undying is so severe, but there is so little fanart I've taken extreme measures.

So The Archive Undying is one of my favourite books of the year (and I've read some truly spectacular books) for many reasons. One of them is the descriptions of food in it. I was wondering if you could talk a bit more about the spices that Sunai uses and the teas they drink, so I can feed my obsession with the book in more ways?
OHOHOHO 1) thank you, 2) i also am a complete nut about good food descriptions in fiction so here, for your indulgence, some answers to your questions + some extra notes:
Sunai's nomadic existence means he will squirrel away whatever he can get his hands on, but for that curry in the first chapters I was imagining a spice mix that he whipped up at some point when he had access to a full kitchen to snitch from. That curry still kind of sucks because he doesn't have much to build it from. What he WANTS is veg, protein, and aromatics, and all he has is maybe some dried veg (if we're being generous) + maaaybe some dried soup base + some coriander and cumin and chili and the dregs of a mix to pull together with water and pour over rice. DISAPPOINTING.
Tea is v popular in part because it's kind of a luxury -- all agriculture in non-AI cities has to make the most of whatever space is considered safe enough to actually cultivate en masse, and you're generally going to prioritize sustenance over tea. So as a consequence there's a ton of variety in tea, bc you get people growing all sorts of personal projects (tea plants, herbs) as well as foraging in the wilds (if they can get away with it).
Khuon Mo's cuisine is fruit and seafood-forward; chili is popular but used more as an accent than a fundamental flavor; favored starch is rice; edible flowers for formal occasions/rituals (funerals, marriage, coming-of-age, etc.).
Veyadi absolutely would have just bitten straight into that onion if Sunai hadn't stopped him.
he’s got rejection sensitivity
